Manchester Synagogue Terrorist Had Three Wives Amid Abusive Relationships
Jihad Al-Shamie, the terrorist who carried out a deadly attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, led a complex personal life involving multiple marriages and abusive behavior. He was married in Islamic ceremonies to at least three women, including British converts and a British Pakistani wife with whom he had three children, while hiding these relationships from each other. One of his wives revealed that he subjected her to coercive control, mental and sexual abuse, and repeatedly lied about his other marriages, insisting she become his "second wife" despite already having a family. Al-Shamie justified having multiple wives by citing Islamic law but acknowledged that most women today do not accept polygamy, and he asked for forgiveness for his deception. The 35-year-old attacker was shot dead by armed police after killing two worshippers and injuring others, and investigations suggest his actions were influenced by extremist Islamist ideology. His personal life had reportedly begun to unravel in the years before the attack, and he was on bail for an earlier alleged rape offense at the time of the synagogue assault.
